Loadout Guide

In less serious missions (not Escort/Elim) or when playing a second Engi as pseudo-Scout I like to take this build. Ammo MPA Warthog for the tanks and Mactera. RJ250 for the fun and utility. Bursters (and optionally Turret Whip on the Warthog) to cover the PGL's reduced immediate lethality. Ammo over Repellant Additive for more stairs/ledges/soft landings. I still take Field Medic and Dash but swapping Field Medic for Hover Boots/Iron Will isn't a terrible idea, depending how often you find yourself dying to fall damage/in hard to reach locations.

If you try using this in haz5 you might consider using the Overcharger (shield) armor mod instead of Healthy since it would let you double grenade jump almost without taking hp damage.
